This error occurs in Next.js (and React) when you're rendering a list of elements, and each child in the list doesn't have a unique key prop. React uses this key to efficiently update and render elements.

SOLUTION TO ERROR I FACED

This is a error i encountered while working in my next js file and also cleared it by adding a tag <React.Fragment key={index}> </React.Fragment>

You need to add a key prop to the outermost element inside the map() function. If you're using a fragment (<>), you can give the key directly to the fragment.

The error occurs because the and elements (wrapped in a fragment <>...</>) inside the map() function do not have a unique key prop. React needs a unique key for each child to optimize rendering.

SOLUTION TO ERROR IN GENERAL

This error occurs in Next.js (and React) when you're rendering a list of elements, and each child in the list doesn't have a unique key prop. React uses this key to efficiently update and render elements.

React will throw the error because the key prop is missing in the elements.
